PBIT meeting, 12 Apr 11, Topic AppAssure Backup

I'd like to start with Quoting John's e-mail after the meeting, which is much more eloquent than I can present:

"I wanted to thank everyone who made it to last night's meeting for the AppAssure presentation. We had a decent turnout, with almost standing room only (actually, Chuck was standing most of the night).

We had some new faces, and some old ones that we haven't seen for some time.

As always, thank you Lynne for supplying us with a meeting space, and AppAssure for the pizza and soda. Also wanted to thank Brian for bringing and handing out the swag!

Finally, the meeting after the meeting always stirs up some very interesting conversations.

Just a reminder to all; if there's a product or vendor that you would like to see at one of the meetings, please let us know know either by posting it here or send us an email offline.
